This Week’s Show:
Carol Thomson founded FireStream Media in Durham, NC in 2006 and has been doing creative and supurlative documentaries and other media productions ever since. She has a list of institutions where she offers instruction, including the Duke University Center for Documentary Studies. On this week’s show we will concentrate on a beautiful documentary displaying the physical work and social connections which developed through the construction of the American Tobacco Trail. Tobacco helped build Durham, and today the marks of American Tobacco and others can be felt in a vibrant revolution of a changing urban environment, of which the Trail is a beacon of how things can change with the right leadership, motivation, and community cooperation. Carol has captured this story eloquently.
